Thanks Nancy, 
I'm feeling better already.  I will focus on conditioning and monitering his
progress.

	Carolyn,

	My friend rides Morgans and we often condition together over the
winter.  The 
	morgans seem to have a higher running pulse than my Arabs.  My Arab
will run 
	at 170 galloping uphill in the winter, and she'll be about 225 or
more with 
	her MOrgan.  Her Morgans are quite fit --- her mare has won several
CTR 
	championships & reserves.  Altho the MOrgans seem to have a higher
running 
	pulse, and a somewhat higher resting pulse than the Arabs, they do
recover to 
	44 or less 20 min after the end of CTR's.  My friend is also an
experienced 
	CTR competitor and tries to leave enough time to walk her horse in
at the end 
	of a CTR so it won't lose points on pulse.
	Perhaps some Morgan owners can comment here, but my observation has
been that 
	the Morgans' pulse runs higher and may take a little more work to
get down 
	than an Arab's, but a Morgan can make an excellent distance horse.  

	Good luck,

	Nancy
	Md
